It's been approximately 14 hours since the temporary C133 problem started, and both my basic TiVo Roamio (Zip code 92507), and the TiVo Roamio Plus of a friend who lives 7 miles away in the same city as I (Zip code 92504), are both still affected by the temporary C133 error. Both devices can access the internet, but not the TiVo/Borg Mother-ship. Disconnecting/Reconnecting their respective electrical cords this morning, with the resulting reboot doesn't bring relief. Both devices report that they can access the internet, but not TiVo service.

Both of us have digital cable television and cable internet service from Charter Communications. No other problems with those services, or the Charter cable boxes used with other television set in our respective homes.

I still don't see anything on TiVo's website, in my email box, on television, or in my morning newspaper providing any explanation of what the problem is, and when TiVo's service might be fully restored.

Only 10 more minutes until I can FINALLY call TiVo support by telephone.

Have you tried forcing a connection? Sometimes the error will not go away until the next scheduled connection attempt. In the meantime, it will still record as planned so it shouldn't have any adverse affects. Honestly, it is not worth rebooting and doing a lot of steps to try to get rid of the error as it will go away on it's on.

Repeated force connections, switching between my usual wired connection and a wireless connection, restarts, and reboots produced nothing but the continuing display of the C133 error message.

I just completed a telephone conversation with TiVo tech support, who reported my call was the first TiVo had received with regard to this problem.

The end result of the conversation is that TiVo is shipping a replacement TiVo Roamio.

Personally, I suspect a Roamio device software or hardware glitch that hasn't yet been identified. At least not officially. Possibly something involved with switching between the use of an antenna connection (My receipt of local HDTV broadcasts produces a far superior picture than what's provided by my cable television provider, Charter Communications), and a cable connection, or switching between a wired or wireless network connection. With the Roamio, switching between antenna and cable is a royal PITA!

I'm off to help a friend who is experiencing the same problem with her TiVo Roamio Plus, and am wondering if her Roamio will also have to be replaced... And if everyone else with the same problem, which started at the same time, will also need to have their Roamios replaced...

In the meantime, my 3 year old Home Theatre PC, which utilizes a 4 tuner Ceton adapter, continues to work. I prefer the TiVo menu system. But the HTPC has been far more reliable.

Did they ask you to try repeating guided setup? Maybe that would cause whatever is out of whack to go back into place?

At least with Guided Setup you don't lose any of your SP or recordings.

I'm shocked if this was a hardware failure.....seems it could only be either software in the Tivo or some local network configuration.

I think replacing it is way overkill and not worth the trouble. The C133 errors usually clear up in a day or two. It is certainly not a hardware problem. The same thing happens on the Premiere.

Were you already in it? I thought it put an exclamation point next to it in My Shows, like it does with Xifinity On Demand as well.

I was using Netflix and when I came out of it was when i first saw the connection issue at the top of the screen. But I was still able to go back into Netflix and stream content. But when i first saw it I checked my two tuner Premiere and it was fine. Which is why at first I thought it was the green switch issue.
